BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1978

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

As we get closer to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays let us give thanks for what we have and help those who are less fortunate.

Happy Holidays – DjPaulT

“Tears Are Not Enough” is a 1985 charity single recorded by a supergroup of Canadian artists, under the name Northern Lights, to raise funds for relief of the 1984–1985 famine in Ethiopia. It was one of a number of such supergroup singles recorded between December 1984 and April 1985, along with Band Aid’s “Do They Know It’s Christmas?” in the United Kingdom, and USA for Africa’s “We Are the World” in the United States.

The project was organized by Bruce Allen, who brought together a large group of artists to record a song written by David Foster, Jim Vallance, Bryan Adams, Rachel Paiment, Paul Hyde and Bob Rock. Foster and Vallance wrote the music and initial lyrics, Adams completed the english lyrics, Paiement wrote the one french verse, Hyde and Rock contributed the song title. The song was recorded on February 10, 1985 at Manta Sound studios in Toronto.

The song was issued as a single by CBS Records in March of that year, and quickly reached number one on the Canadian Top 40 chart. It also finished #1 on the year-end Canadian charts for 1985. The song’s video also received extensive airplay on MuchMusic.

On December 22, 1985, CBC Television aired a 90-minute documentary on the song’s creation, which was subsequently released on videocassette. A CBC reporter, Brian Stewart, had been the first Western journalist to bring the famine in Ethiopia to worldwide attention.

By 1990, the project had raised $3.2 million for famine relief projects in Africa. Ten per cent of the funds raised were kept in Canada to assist Canadian food banks.
